Notes: Report exceeded forecast, and previous report revised slightly upward. Report broke on Thursday at the same time as weekly unemployment claims (slightly positive at 390K). I would not trade this report with 2 medium movers breaking at the same time. The long wick on the 0331 candle is typical of the unemployment report.
